I do think the brand is but a shadow of itself. I mean, they can't even get coverage in Men's magazines so they have to publish they own mook catalog ever season!

I know I got more than my share of them. You can also have 20,000Â¥ Apes Jackets. The fact that the brand have now shops in Shibuya and Harajuku might play into having less people their but also prove they are still going strong. It might not be the last trendy shop in Tokyo to go queue for, and I also met Japanese people who dont like the brand but they are doing really good here and abroad and I think they deserve it. The shop design from Wonder-Wall is great, the branding top notch, Nigo keep pulling out cool collaboration from Kany West to Nintendo and his label have some interesting artists.

First, back in the day, there used to be crowds in there, even lines of people waiting to get inside. And you can't really compare 6000 yen t-shirs and 20 000 yen jackets to Comme des Garcons or Dior. Also, how often do you see anyone wearing Bape these days? The only time I ever see some (and this is rarely), is when someone is wearing it head-to-toe. A few things about that.

Go to any hi-range shop for more respectable brand such as comme des garcons, Miakey or even Dior, chanel and you will not see that many people either. Yet we can hardly say those brand aren't hot.
